Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp
Storyboard Text
- A man wrongly kills his wife, cuts her into pieces and throws her into the river Tigris.
- I would give you a hundred gold pieces.
- He did so because a slave tricked the man in believing she was his mistress. The slave had a rare apple which the man had brought to his wife and the slave uses this as proof.
- The Wazir (Ja’afar) finds out it was one of his slaves but asks the Caliph’s pardon, because it is not as wondrous as one of his tales. Caliph Harun al-Rashid summons his Wazir Ja’afar and tells him he wants to question the common folk.
- They meet an old man with a fishing net lamenting over something. The Caliph wants to help him and says he will give the man hundred gold pieces.
- But during his next catch the Caliph will get what’s in the net. It turns out to be a heavy chest. Its contents is palm-leaves, a carpet, a woman’s mantilla and a woman cut in nineteen pieces.
- The Caliph demands the murderer to be found. When Ja’azar gets the assignment to find the murderer within three days he cannot fulfil this task because he can never be certain who is the murderer.
